"It is almost inconceivable that the United States Supreme Court would rule, that someone who holds the office of the presidency, who then engaged in insurrection, should be permitted to hold the office of the presidency again," said Kirschner. But even if they do, they will almost certainly not review the underlying facts of the case, including that Trump was found to have furthered insurrection — because "that is a finding of fact ... entitled to great deference on appeal," and appellate judges, including the Supreme Court, are there to review legal questions, not the fact determinations at trial.
